Law kcl gcse concerns

Hi, I'm a current Year 12 student and I'd like to do a degree in Law and have always wanted to study at a London University such as KCL. Am I cooked with these results? I never understood how dire gcses would be, and did not revise for a single one.
GCSEs : 88666665
A LEVELS : A*A*A (his,bio,chem)

KCL isn't terribly fussed with GCSEs, those should be perfectly fine. if you're a home student however, you need to get at least 30 in your LNAT when you sit it, because the cut-off for LNAT scores for home students has been 30 in the two most recent UCAS cycles. and 30 is very difficult.

KCL isn't fussed with GCSEs at all. I got a 5 in Maths, Chemistry, French, Computer Science and Statistics and I still got into KCL for Politics, Philosophy and Law. My LNAT score was 34, so they cared much more about that than my GCSE lack, lol. Push on with your studies, don't cry about your GCSEs (which were really good anyway!) and get yourself a nice set of predicted A levels. Good luck with the LNAT and the rest of it.

Hey, what other unis did you apply to? And did you get offers?

Hi, would KCL accept 5 in English Language ( I got a 6 in Literature) and 5 in Maths for GCSE''s? Currently, just started yr 12 and looking at different uni's for llb law courses and was wondering if KCL look at A levels more than an emphasis on GCSE results, as I could not find any GCSE requirements on their website, unlike other unis that have specific GCSE grade requirements.
I am hoping to do better in my A levels than my GCSE's but don't know if these average grades will affect my chances of applying.
Has anyone got into KCL to do law with an average 5/6/4 grades?
